ONE LUCKY DUCK

so i am a huuuuuuge west elm fan. i can’t get enough, really. they give me modern design, without breakin ma bank. the one thing I hate? that it’s about a 40 minute drive from my house. but not anymore! they have a new LA store much closer that’s opening tomorrow!

SO! I am hosting (along with some of my favorite blogger friends!) the store opening party! can you come? sure you can! bring a friend, let’s hang out and have a cocktail together. and my friend, the flashdance, will be spinning records. you can’t miss that! make sure you RSVP if you want to join us!

…and to celebrate. i am giving away five of my favorite holiday items from west elm to one of you! that’s right, you heard me…FIVE!

My dream item would be the Elton Chair in Dandilion (or in the Faux Suede – Bone)! Comfy, classic yet modern. I love all of the West Elm home furnishings and decorations! If I lived on the west coast – I’d be there in two seconds flat! Have fun! 🙂

WOW! Generous giveaway of the year. Wish I could come to the party! Love all those items, and I’ve had my eye on the Chester sofa in gray…and Jack’s Tray side table. My life may just be complete with those two things. 🙂 And that paper-mache deer!

Love West Elm! Currently moving (in LA!) so I can’t wait to pick out some decor items…love all of these here (Especially the glass jar pendant light!). Dream item is DEFINITELY the yellow Elton Setee…it is beyond perfect 🙂

hello west elm LA! I can’t wait to check out the new store and with you throwing a party, I will be sure to make it out! I have been eyeballing those lacquer trays and butler stands for sometime now (even since your giveaway of them) Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

umm this is AMAZING, bri! love all of your picks. i was just at west elm last night for the design sponge book signing, and i wanted everrrrything! i’m particularly loving the carroll bench right now, perfect for the entryway!

I actually just placed an order with West Elm yesterday for a bunch of small holiday gifts, including the chalkboard candle-pots, which will be tough for me to wrap up and give to someone else. I totally regret not ordering a set for myself. What was I thinking?!
But I digress. I think my favorite item right now is actually the faux fur throw that you picked out. SO CHIC. I just moved into a new apartment at the beginning of November, and I can’t stop thinking about how my living room couch needs this throw!

My favorite items (which i’ve been eying like CRAZY even before this sweepstake) have been this table: http://www.westelm.com/products/arc-base-pedestal-table-g490/?catalogId=66&cm_src=AutoRel I really need something to eat off of other than my little bar table…it’s getting ridiculous. Also, I loooove the white stag that you’ve posted! My boyfriend and I call each other deers (weird, I know…) and I think this would add such a special touch to our apartment. Love your blog and thanks for hosting this!

as you say, whoah! this is quite a give-away! i too love west elm and so far, since i’m a lighting junkie (and i do like the one you like alot), i’m super drawn to the semi-flush faceted mirror with that tungsten bulb, just stunning. oh, and everything else too. crossing my fingers, toes and let me see, what else, my legs and eyes too…;)

I love unique lighting, so I am really digging the BRANCHES FLOOR LAMP, and also the glass jar pendant lighting that you featured. Our place is really in need of spruce up, especially as a broke, newly-wed couple! Hopefully I cam make it to the store opening party!

I am so excited about the store opening since it is less then 5 minutes from my house! I am sure to spend way too much time in there! Right now I am loving so many things but the long arm chandelier is high on my list. I love how it looks almost like a piece of sculpture.
See you at the party!

Seeing as how I just moved cross country to Brooklyn, I am in dire need of some brand new dinnerware. This stunning David Stark Wood-Slices dinnerware set is exactly what I need to have beautiful accents in my kitchen and around the dinner table.

That darn Kite Kilim Rug and I have been in a love/hate relationship for some time now. I love it; and it hates that it can’t come home with me! (I am totally digging their new monogram line too.) Cheers!

I really love the glass jar pendant lights, but if I had to choose something else from their site (choose one? so difficult!), I would pick the Ikat Woven Collection. The textural woven baskets would be absolutely perfect next to our fireplace! LOVE them, your blog and this giveaway!

My dream item would be the Lorimer Sectional sofa. I’ve been eyeing that glass jar pendant lamp, too. Thanks for the chance to win, Bri! And have fun at the West Elm opening! What a fun group of ladies to party with! xo.

The Stria bed set is my dream item. I love that it’s made from reclaimed wood, and it has an awesome Swedish modern/camping vibe that I adore. I love what you’ve picked out for this giveaway – thanks for hosting, Bri! 🙂

What an awesome giveaway! West Elm has my heart especially the Bijoux-Dots sequin pillow and the faux fur throws have been on my wish list for a while now. I’d go with the mocha or the platinum. Fingers crossed!

Faux fur throwwwww, yummmmmmmm. Yum in the aesthetic sense of course, not going to eat it. Might need to make an investment in one of those anyway. Somehow it just feels like a need instead of a want 🙂

hot dog! This is a super stellar giveaway! If I could have one item from the entire West Elm store I would choose the Ryder Rocking Chair. I’ve been on the hunt for a guest bedroom chair that will one day double up as a comfy chair to rock a future little one to sleep 🙂

I’ve been planning to move up in the world and take my office out of the master bedroom… and the dream includes a few of the Finn Pendant Lamps over flat files. They’re so simple but can have such impact.

Gosh I just love West Elm. My dream (a dream that I may just make a reality) item is the tripod white table. We are in desperate need of a little table to dine at and it is the perfect petite size for our little apartment.

My dream item has been the Diamond Tufted Headboard ever since it came out! They can do it in a dove gray velvet that is absolutely amazing. Someday I hope that I can have sweet dreams in this luxe bed! What a great giveaway!

the tall grid tufted headboard, for sure . . . in heather gray! my guy and i are starting piece together our first apartment together . . . moving in after our wedding NEXT MONTH and this would be the perfect addition to headboard-less bed!

This lap desk is my favorite because it’s modern but also functional. I work and go to school full time and when I come home to do homework I want to be comfy enough to relax from a long day but also be able to get my work done.
The throws would be nice for that as well. (:

i have my eye on so many things from west elm; my cart is always waiting for me to hit checkout. the owl lamp for one… a shower curtain.. and a couple quilts… and jeez.. there’s really a lot of things i love.

Out of the five choices my absolute favorite is the fur blanket in cheetah. If I were to pick any item from the store it would definitely have to be the Cabriole Leg Desk in Cinder, this small desk would be perfect for my new apartment. As a student it would be a great place to study and do homework on 🙂

I am dying for the Ceramic Pig Speaker. It may not be the most extravagant item on the site, but it is the first one that made me grin from ear to ear the instant it popped up. I am mentally making a place on my desk for it right now…while I make my own wishlist, of course!

this capiz light fixture used to be my most favorite thing from West Elm, but sadly, it’s no longer available.
lately i’m coveting this bedding. but – really i’d take one of everything from that store! love it!

Holy cow! A west Elm just opened by me as well and I have been resisting urges to buy everything! On my list is the Zig Zag Rug, love the graphic quality of this and the simple colors. I am also loving the Stray Dog Side Table in white.

My dream item may not be so dreamy but it is much needed – I love and need the 8×10 & 11×14 art frames for 20X200.com prints. I have so many prints that need frames….and I just RSVPd for the event! I’ll be done with finals so I’m in the clear!

West Elm is wonderful! I would be thrilled to call any of these items my own, especially the glass jar pendant light! I’ve been looking for a new desk and the metal truss work table is my front runner!!

I LOVE West Elm, and DesignLoveFest (duh). I’m hosting my first “big girl” Christmas party this year and am drooling over all their great holiday stuff. My dream item has to be the Manzanita Candelabra. It would be great for my Christmas party but also something I could use after the holidays.

The nearest West Elm to me is also a 40 minute drive (so if you’re reading this West Elm, please please open one south of SF!) I’ve got the wood slat dining table and benches on my wish list, so I can create an outdoor “dining room”, but really I love almost everything!

Would it be selfish if I said my favorite dream item is the Bliss Chair and 1/2 Allegra Hicks Ripple, Sky. If it is selfish, then I would totally say something more appropriate like, the tribal bath mat. Otherwise, Bliss Chair all the way! I LOVE W.E.!

While at the current moment I’m wooed by the rad seasonal things such as the modern santa collection and the paper mache reindeer, practically my all season dream objects would be the antique tiled mirror and the veneer spheres and colored cylinder vases… or anything really.

I don’t even have to go look on the West Elm website right now to know my dream item…because I’m on there practically everyday! My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home (a 1920’s craftsman/bungalow) and we have had our eyes set on the glass jar pendants to hang above our dining room table. They’re just so adorable!

I am one of those graphic designers who has worked at home for years from my kitchen table. I am just too picky and can’t commit to a desk, but I’ve finally found one that is perfect and I can envision in my space, (even though I have not hit the purchase button just yet)… It happens to be West Elm’s Metal Truss Work Table. Believe me I have been through every catalog, antique and thrift store around… Thanks West Elm! P.S. Still can’t get that chevron rug out of my head either, the black/cream and red one!

dont even have to look as i already have my list! my next purchase at west elm is the large paper mache gemsbock. it is going right over my media center in my loft. it will be perfect. so fun to have a west elm near you, we love ours in san diego! see you at the party dear. 🙂

Oui, so much feedback already- I check your blog religiously too! I have been oogling over the Dumont buffet since the last catalogue arrived… perfectly modern with what reminds me of Danish legs. I love dark finishes with white. Someone is going to have a very merry Christmas when they hear that they have won this!

I love me some West Elm! Beautiful items that you can actually afford! We just recently bought one of their lovely, cozy throws and a bar tray for our new home, and added a herringbone quilt to our wedding registry. I’m currently coveting the kite kilim rug… dream item!

My walls need some love! they’re in desperate need of some art.
Obsessed with the 20X200 WALL ART, NY.10.#28 and also the PAPIER-MÂCHÉ ANIMAL SCULPTURE, LARGE ANTLERS. West Elm is great! Have fun at the event, Bri!

Gosh I too love West Elm. I have a slight CHAIR ADDICTION but, as much as my mind is screaming ELLLLLTON IN DANDELIOOONNN, enough is enough (no, it isn’t), I’m going to have to say the LARGE WIRE PENDANT. That thing is a piece of junkyard-art.

I have always wanted a headboard of my own! I think it really envelops the room in an aesthetically pleasing way. I always looked to Carrie Bradshaw’s headboards for dream inspired aspirations! I love all the headboards on West Elm, but I’m particularly drawn to the WINGBACK NAILHEAD HEADBOARD, because the wings sort of create a safety net for me to sleep in!

i’ve always dreamed of owning the tall industrial metal bath cabinet. But you know what? I’d probably use it in my bedroom as a sweet place to store my jewelry, perfumes, and other trinkets I love to look at 🙂

I just found your blog via sfgirlbythebay & I must say! Love. And the fact that you’re located right here where I spend nine months out of the year now {UCLA undergrad} makes me even more excited. Icing on the cake? Seeing that some of my favorite bloggers are getting together in one spot! {I happen to read cupcakesandcashmere daily & Oh Joy! is a newfound fav as well… and now you, too!}. This overload of wonderfulness is completely distracting me from my essay writing! *laughs*

If I could chose a dream item from West Elm right now, I’d probably go with the Ryder Rocking Chair I saw over at Oh Joy!. It’s gorgeous and when I see it, I just want to curl up with a book {that isn’t a textbook!} and relax.

Thanks for the giveaway! Wish I could be there tomorrow {but alas, I have classes to attend}.

I just moved in to my boyfriend’s fully furnished home, and am trying to incorporate my style with his. Those jar pendant lights would be absolutely stunning in our entryway. Finally lighting we can agree on! Thanks so much for the eye candy everyday!!!

The one thing I can’t stop looking at (besides those beautiful faux fur throws? The “Large Rectangle Hanging Capiz” light. My only problem is I can’t decide if I like the gray or white better. I’m leaning towards grey. This would look fantastic in the kitchen I’m imaging in my head. Black appliances, white countertops. Soft hints of blues and greys. Yes, I think grey will do just fine. Thank for you sharing this website. My morning at work will be spent sighing, oohing and aahing, and adding things to my wishlist!

My husband is in the Air Force so we live in base housing…whaa whaa. Our whole house is filled with lovely brown carpet. I would do anything to bring some life to my living room! I am in love with WestElm and have ordered a few small items. I would love to own the bright, happy colors of the Andalusia rug! I have been dreamiing of it for a while!

WAHOO!! I LOOOVE West Elm! SO hard to pick just one…i love the salvaged wood shelves, they would look awesome in my kitchen…but I also love the paper mache stag…and definitely love those pendant lights. Can’t be picky in this heavenly store.

Oh man, there are far too many West Elm pieces that I could call my “dream item”. One thing that sticks out as a fave is their Terracotta Table Lamp. It is FABulous. Thanks for throwing a great giveaway!

I love all their little side tables – fun to move around as needed – love the tree stump and the jacks side tables the most right now. Of your giveaways, I’ve been NEEDING, the fur throw. Winter in Ohio is dismal.

As simple as it is, I have been obsessed with the faceted mirror side table for the last few years. Maybe one of these days I’ll buy it! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE their rugs and ottomans… but that’s going to take much more saving.

holy ginormously generous giveaway Bri! naturally, the stag & faux fur throw would be right at home living with us. as for my dream item, i most often daydream of myself in my cozy living room sitting upon a Velvet Chester Tufted Sofa in Lagoon of course. and in order to avoid owning a lonely sofa, i’d probably feel obliged to go for the overarching floor lamp too. damn, i probably shouldn’t deny my family room that Bliss Sofa either. the Finn pendant is the bee’s knees! and i just snagged up a few of their chalkboard candlepots thanks to you. i feel like one lucky duck already! best of luck to all of your fans. oxo

Hooray! This is awesome Bri, wish I lived in LA so I could come hang with you guys! It’s hard for me to pick a favorite item but I have currently been drooling over the natural tree stump side table. xo

Holy cow!! Christmas come early!
The Portico Mirror is the perfect circular mirror for my space. My head is spinning with excitement over that papier-mâché stag!
You are such an inspiration Bri![email protected]

Wow, what a great giveaway! I love West Elm and they just recently opened a store here in Seattle! I think my dream item would be any one of their amazing sofas…I’m in desperate need of a new one. BUT, on the smaller end, I’m in love with their Modernist bowls and mugs and would love a set someday. 🙂http://www.westelm.com/products/modern-bowls-e574/?pkey=cdinnerware

I am also so excited that a West Elm opened here on Beverly! The last time I was in their Santa Monica store, I was immediately drawn to a soft cozy thick throw with a faux-fur layer on top, and a thick knitted layer underneath. I wish I could find a picture of it online, but it’s seriously winter’s best friend.

I really want a fur throw… I just found out my pup is allergic to wool- so it is goodbye wool rugs in the bedroom! I’m thinking the fur throw with rug pad would be a lovely floor covering for the cold Chicago months!

Hii Bri, there are so many things at the west elm site; ranging form the unnecessary wants to all the needs of my room, i think my favorite is the NATIVE UNION POP PHONE. It’s a traditional shaped phone with pop color, and with cell phone everywhere it would be nice to have a semi-real phone around. Thanks for this opportunity.

how fitting…i was planning a West Elm shopping spree this weekend. I am dreaming about the Emmerson Dining Table. Obsessed. Must have one of those fur throws…& I love the painted dog plates. Fingers crossed.

I so badly want the tripod floor lamp. My apartment has no next to no overhead lighting, and i have been drooling over west elm’s lamps for month on end! I wish I could say I wanted something more spicy, but what’s greater than having light in your life!

I just found your website not too long ago and I love love love what you do, your style and your work (and subscribed to follow to keep up)!! I am a recent interior design grad and just moved into a new home and have been drooling over everything west elm.. my must have dream item right now would be their Industrial Coffee Table or Emmerson Dining Table (hard to choose!) out of the five giveaways I would have to choose the Glass Jar Pendant Light.. I hope to one day attend your shop classes (I wish I was in Atlanta now!)

GOD THIS TABLE IS THE COOLEST!!! Seriously, I love beautiful man made things that echo nature. I also love white in the home, because it feels spacious and like a dream. And, come on…. the drinks on that table look SOOOO good.

The “Elton settee” is so incredibly beautiful. A vintagey, mustard sofa. Comfy and fluffy but classic and elegant. It would go so wonderfully with my curtains. They’re handmade teal floral print, quilted madness. <3

Um, UH-MAY-ZING! I actually want the white stag! Why? Because my hunky boyfriend went on a hunting trip a few months back and failed to bring me back antlers. He was appalled when I told him I wanted a pair that I could paint. APPALLED! At least this way he won’t freak out and I won’t feel guilty for having a dead animal on my wall. Love, love!

I love the chunky tassel throw and I am been looking for a paper mache stag like that for my new apartment! my roommate and i have to go into west elm every time we walk by. we just torture ourselves with inspiration !

i have to have the paper mache stag! i have an empty wall just waiting for it. it would go perfect with the modern-meets-nature vibe in my living room…as would the fur throw on my west elm henry couch!

I absolutely ADORE the {wooden spheres} from West Elm! I would totally put them in our “Man cave” one week, then mix it up and put them (meaning all 6 that I would buy) lined up perfectly ontop of the fireplace mantel for a modern & steamlined focal point in the living area. I love a cluster too, the more the merrier! -Adrian

ah, the Chester tufted upholstered sofa (faux suede- in bone of course)..why do you tease me so? I have been dreaming of a sofa such as this and the perfect chic living room to go with it! The matching arm chairs are fabulous too.

I really love all the items you are giving away, they can just add so much class to an apartment and what not. I especially love the stag!
On the site I love the Essex Printed Bench, it’s so classy and simple. But it als adds a little flare to the room you put it in!

Omg what don’t I love! I am dying for the 5 ball pendant light to go over my new dining room table, an of their couches, the honeycomb pillow, the white and grey safari rug….and the list goes on and on.

Bri,
what an amazing give away!
The pivot storage bed frame is number one on my list- as it solves the bedding storage dilemma out here in the windy and sandy Mojave Desert of Joshua Tree.
Happy Holidays!

I have always loved the faceted mirror side table. Everytime I go into west elm I covet it! Also, all their lighting. From ceiling pendants to reading lamps, the just get it right! Love the blog Miss Bri 🙂

My living room is in need of a major overhaul. The Chester Sofa would be a dream replacement for my tattered sofa and the Paul Loebach Credenza would be ideal for holding my TV. I pinned that pillow on Pinterest the other day, so I’d be super stoked to win it! Thanks Bri!

I love the Pivot Storage Bed Frame. I have been shopping for a new bed frame and I want something that sits low to the ground, but I don’t want to give up my storage. This is the best because I can have both!

I have been wanting the large rectangular tray (lacquer black) from West Elm for way too long. For my LR coffee table. Would look great with some fresh flowers and my fave books including my Domino Book of Decorating!

Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept talking about this. I am going to
forward this information to him. Fairly certain he’s going to
have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
